Fortunately, the line was well photographed, particularly so as it was realized after 1937, following the demise of the Kogarah Sans Souci line, that it was now, the last of its kind. A lot of folk-lore has been written about the line and it is sometimes difficult to sort fact from romance.

Espoo 18.2.2019 Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Milos N. Mladenovic, PhD Advisor: M. Sc. Davy Beilinson Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Ulla Saari Title of thesis Planning and design implications from traffic safety evaluation for tramway systems Master programme Spatial Planning and Transportation Code ENG26 Engineering Thesis supervisor Milos Mladenovic Thesis advisor(s) Davy Beilinson Date 18.2.2019 Number of pages 99 Language English Abstract Modern tramways are a part of traffic system for urban and densifying city structure. First modern tramways are planned nowadays in Finland. Planning and design create a base for a safe traffic system. Traffic safety influences on our everyday life and is a requirement for a well-functioning and efficient transport system and city structure. This thesis concentrates on planning and design of tramway systems from traffic safety point of view. In this thesis, traffic safety for tramway systems is studied by using accident data from Helsinki, Gothenburg and Dublin. GIS-analysis, data analysis, conflict point maps and previous studies are used to identify design factors influencing tramway safety. Based on the accident data, specific points of infrastructure are considered in terms of safety. Planning and design solutions are considered for motor vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Safety in design is studied for intersections, crossing points and tram stop areas. Clarity of the traffic system is a key factor for safe environment.

  • Improving Disabled Access to the Tram System in Melbourne, Victoria
    GFS-0812 Improving Disabled Access to the Tram System in Melbourne, Victoria An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Department of Infrastructure and the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by ____________________________________________ Alexander Christakis ____________________________________________ Katie Flynn ____________________________________________ Jennifer Himottu 28 April 2007 ____________________________________________ Professor Holly Ault, Advisor ____________________________________________ Professor Guillermo Salazar, Advisor This report represents the work of three WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract This project assisted the Department of Infrastructure of the Victorian government in improving the accessibility of the tram system for disabled passengers in Melbourne, Australia. A systematic rating system for assessing future stops to upgrade to conform to accessibility standards was proposed and applied to three target routes. Criteria were defined by reviewing the current state of accessibility and interviewing stakeholders. The proposed approach will help to effectively focus project effort and funding to critical areas in the future. ii Acknowledgements This project was a great undertaking and the first time WPI was able to work with the DOI of the state of Victoria. Therefore, we would like to thank the several people that helped and encouraged us throughout our project and made our stay in Melbourne even more enjoyable. We would first like to thank our project liaison Dr. Jim North, also known to us as ―Doctor‖, ―Professor‖, ―Gunslinger‖, ―The Scotsman‖ and ―Boss Jim.‖ He went above and beyond his duties as project liaison and drilled into our heads the idea of ―Scottish Rules.‖ All the information we needed, as long as we asked, we received.

  • Mass of Flames
    Mass of Flames It was a spring day in Brisbane on Monday 6 September 1943, Brisbane was in the middle of an invasion by the US military with army camps and depot springing up in areas all around Brisbane. Salisbury on the south side of Brisbane was a hive of activity with many factories supplying the war effort. Located on Compton Road which is now called Evans Road just west of the corner with Tarragindi Road was the Salisbury Tram Terminus for the tramline which ran from Salisbury through Moorooka, Annerley and Gabba into the city. This tram line was hastily extended from Moorooka to Salisbury in September 1941 to convene all the workers to the factories which sprung up in the Salisbury area including munitions factories. On this day at the Salisbury Tram Terminus was Brisbane City Council tramcar 289, a drop centre type tram which had a layout of a driver/motorman platform at each end, an enclosed cabin at each end and a centre open section. The tramcar was constructed with an external steel frame but all the inside of the tramcar was timber including the floors, seats and ceiling. Tramcar 289 was licensed to carry 110 passengers which included 60 seated and 50 standing. As the tramcar sat at the terminus waitingDrop Centre to Tramdepart with the Motorman William John Cull and Conductress Clarice Edwards (because of the wartime man shortage in 1942 the Brisbane City Council hired about 400 conductresses for the duration of the war) The tramcar was loaded with mostly young females Mass of Flames Story 1 who had just finished their shifts at the munitions factories in the Salisbury area and were looking forward to getting home for tea and a rest.

COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a pan-European intergo- vernmental framework. Its mission is to enable break-through scientific and techno- logical developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby contribute to strengthening Europe’s research and innovation capacities. It is the oldest and widest European intergovernmental network for cooperation in research. Established by the Ministerial Conference in November 1971, COST allows researchers, engineers and scho- lars to jointly develop their own ideas and take new initiatives across all fields of science and technology, while promoting multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. COST aims at fostering a better integration of less research intensive countries to the knowledge hubs of the European Research Area. The COST Association, an International not-forprofit Association under Belgian Law, integrates all management, governing and administrative functions necessary for the operation of the framework.
